Wrong thread

You did thank you. The only reason I questioned it was the spokes incident. Tatum must have excellent eyesight to have picked it up.

I had the advantage of watching it twice. The live showing was that good I watched the highlight prog. The live showing was without commentary but with sound from the track, almost like being there and the announcer used Danish followed by English so perfectly easy to follow along with the captions. There didn't seem to be any long breaks between races even when there were falls the breaks were relatively quick compared to British speedway. I missed the opinions of Tatum, who gives a riders perspective but not Pearson. Alsoo we got to see all the pit interviews and had several views of the pit action that were missing from the evening showing, I'm sure we don't get to see as many in a normal live showing and they added to the experience for me. One of Nicki's reactions was a cracker and would have that many apologies from commentators they would have had apoplexy The highlight programme was spoilt somewhat for me by the constant oohs and aahs altho in this case quite a few were justified. Picture quality was much better. However Tatum's comments added to it. I don't know if they were the live comments but he spotted the broken spokes in Doyles wheel which until I read twitter I had no knowledge of. All in all I enjoyed both but it emphasised how much Pearson shouts and gets things wrong (Tatum corrected him several times). Given the choice for GPS I'd watch the live feed without commentary, ideally with a rider giving comments (don't want much do I ) I would agree that British clubs need to learn that long drawn out meetings with long breaks between races really P off fans.

IMHO yes and I've watched it twice

I really can't see the problem. If you want to know the result look on the BSPA site. If you watched it you know what happened, if you didn't simply avoid everywhere. For once I think BSI or whoever actually thought about fans.

Best meeting I've watched for ages, made better by lack of over excited commentator. Can't say I wanted Sweden to win after the lucky way they reached the final but fair play as a team they deserved it. It would have been easier watching if the team kevlars were not so similar, at times if was like watching the red and white team vs the blue and yellow team especially with the long shots. I'll probably watch the 7 pm version too cos I'm sure I missed some of the action there was so much lol Maybe he needs to rehydrate

What's the Danish team manager on ? ref got that spot on, no other decision possible !!!

He only gave Sundstrum what Sundstrum gave others!

Anyone know who the ref is?

And for anyone with withdrawal symptoms.. WE ARE IN JOKER TERRITORY

Shame you didn't say that when Nicki had him off lol

What's copycat in Polish ?

Bet that comment don't get repeated tonight lol

Sadly it looks like the normal Ole track is reappearing

Don't think Haza will see all of this !!

Really!! So it's not just British TV obsessed with Le Mans lol

Probably no more than you get your petrol money back if a British meeting is rained ok lol.

Quest is free via Freeview.

For accuracy I believe Eurosport is part of the variety bundle

I wasn't aware that BSI had any input into TVSchedules. They sell the rights to show it and after that it's down to the TV companies. Whether they should include a clause that they have to show it without extra charge is another matter, but to be honest I doubt BSI care once they have got the dosh.

£3.99 is a bargain if you don't subscribed to Sky. bTW think that price you have to subscribe for a year. One off is £5.99 but I'm still reading about it.

It's live on Eurosport player. At present have no idea how much it costs but at least they have done something

I had an auto reply but in all fairness didn't expect much else last night. Programme planners obviously don't sit waiting on a Saturday night. Hopefully many people emailed etc so on Monday they will see there is a demand and plan appropriately in future. Sky to be fair have more channels available plus red button so would find it easier to fit a rain off in. Plus more importantly it costs a helluva lot more. Highlights will do for me, I'd have preferred less of a delay so being away from the result would be easier but hey who cannot do without social media for six hours if not knowing the result is important?

Did either of you email or tweet Eurosport? If few people bothered why should they. And yes I did.

Deep joy
